Care for Degenerative Disorders

At Walnut Creek Homewatch CareGivers we recognize that each individual is unique in their daily activities, interest, illness, medications, physical abilities, diets, etc. That is why we work with you and your loved one to create a care plan with you in mind. We believe it’s essential to coordinate our care plan with medical professionals, like doctors, physical therapist, nurses, etc. to ensure we are all working toward the same goal, providing excellent care for degenerative disorders.

I have an aunt, who lives in Chicago, who has arthritis. We know that arthritis can limit mobility, and it can make daily activities challenging at times. Our caregivers can be there to assist you or a loved one in need. Home care service are customized to individuals who are coping with the symptoms of degenerative disorders; Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Arthritis. Let our family care for yours.

ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease leads to muscle weakening and affects one’s ability to control voluntary movements of the muscles including those that control breathing. As a person progressively loses their ability to function independently, they will require additional care in the home. Our caregivers can assist with mobility and transfers, plan and prepare special diets to facilitate good nutrition, and offer emotional support allowing the client enough time to communicate, always being sensitive to the preservation of the client’s dignity.

Parkinson’s disease gradually affects the nervous system to the point where the affected person will need help with ambulation, daily chores, personal grooming, and more. Our caregivers have specialized training to help if your loved one experiences cognitive symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. We are here to support the family caregivers who may not be able to manage all of the care for all Parkinson’s symptoms.

The symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary by individual, but as this unpredictable and disabling illness of the central nervous system advances it disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. While many people with MS experience a years-long remission of the disease, others may lose the ability to walk and require additional care for daily activities.

Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other types of arthritis can be extremely painful and affect a person’s ability to take care of themselves. Homewatch CareGivers is here to provide in home care when you or a loved one experience a flare up of osteoarthritis symptoms or rheumatoid arthritis pain. Know when to ask for additional help so that you can continue to live a full and independent life.
